Abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the essential role of public safety personnel in serving and protecting all Canadians. Public safety personnel were reporting challenges with mental health and well-being before the COVID-19 pandemic; accordingly, the new stressors may mean public safety personnel need additional resources to sustainably help them help us. This article suggests elements of support that may be attainable avenues for supporting the well-being of public safety personnel during the protracted stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sustained self-care may be critical for maintaining the mental health and well-being of public safety personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.La pandémie de COVID-19 a mis en évidence le rôle essentiel du personnel de sécurité publique dans le service et la protection de l’ensemble des Canadiens. Le personnel de sécurité publique signalant déjà des problèmes de santé mentale et de bien-être avant même la pandémie de COVID-19, les nouveaux facteurs de stress pourraient augmenter les besoins en ressources supplémentaires chez ce personnel afin qu’il soit capable de nous aider à long terme. Cet article propose divers éléments de soutien pouvant constituer des pistes pertinentes en vue de favoriser le bien-être du personnel de sécurité publique pendant la période de stress prolongé provoqué par la pandémie de COVID-19. Les autosoins peuvent s’avérer essentiels au maintien de la santé mentale et du bien-être du personnel de sécurité publique pendant la pandémie de COVID-19.
